Andy Scholz is launching Resolution Law Firm.

Springfield attorney Andy Scholz is starting a solo practice.

Scholz' firm, called Resolution Family Law, officially launches tomorrow, according to a news release. Resolution Family Law's office is located at 4905 S. National Ave., Ste. A112, and the firm focuses on family-related legal matters such as divorce, custody, support, property division and mediation.

Scholz has 25 years of legal experience, most recently at Rooney, McBride & Smith LLC since 2019. His last day there was Nov. 14, said Laine Scholz, Andy's wife and the new firm's legal assistant, office manager and marketing manager.

“Over the course of my career, I’ve seen how challenging and emotionally complicated family law issues can be,” Andy Scholz said in the release. "My goal is to provide clients with clear information, utilizing my deep knowledge of the family court system. Our goal with this new firm is to be mindful of the time and resources involved, making sure the work that we do is necessary and meaningful to the case. I want people to feel supported and respected throughout the process, no matter what brings them through the door."

Andy and Laine Scholz are the firm's sole employees, she said, noting plans to bring on a paralegal within the first six months.

Declining to disclose startup costs for Resolution Family Law, Laine Scholz said they are "very low." That's partly because Resolution Family Law has an office-sharing sublease for roughly 3,600 square feet with Assertion Law Firm LLC, she said.

Andy Scholz' career also includes work with the Missouri attorney general’s office, Boone County prosecuting attorney’s office in Columbia and Pratt & Grisham LLC, according to the release.
